The characters are also tackling their own insecurities–Chloe’s brought about by the way her friends treated her when her fibromyalgia flared up, and Red’s left over from his relationship with an emotionally abusive ex-girlfriend. Red is also my favorite of the three romantic leads a handsome, funny guy with a rough exterior who is still soft enough to make you food and carry you when you’re tired and call you “button.” (BUTTON! I’m swooning again.) While Red pushes Chloe to break some rules and have some fun, Chloe pushes him to get over his technophobia and fear of sharing his art and get a damn Instagram account already. If you like an opposites-attract kind of story, you’ll love the way these two play off of and tease each other. The banter in this installment is impeccable.

But the more time they spend together, the more they begin to learn about each other, and the more drawn to one another they become. The two resent each other completely, at least at first. Red is the apartment handyman and resident bad boy who secretly paints when no one is looking. Chloe’s “Get A Life List” includes such items as “Enjoy a drunken night out,” “Go camping,” “Travel the world with only hand luggage,” and the most difficult of all, “Do something bad.” For that last item, she’ll need to enlist the help of her polar opposite, Redford “Red” Morgan.

She does what she always does in times of crisis: she makes a list. When prim, proper and organized Chloe Brown is nearly struck by an out of control vehicle, she realizes her life thus far would have made for the most boring eulogy of all time. If you’re not a stickler for reading in order, feel free to pick up whichever book interests you most! Get a Life, Chloe Brown The events of the novels do happen chronologically, with characters from previous entries appearing in subsequent ones, but they each stand on their own just fine. She handles her characters’ various struggles with depth, nuance, importance, and care.Įach entry in the trilogy follows one of the three Brown sisters in their own love story. Hibbert also always makes a point of representing people with marginalized identities in her fiction and giving them the happily-ever-afters they deserve. Talia Hibbert’s Brown Sisters trilogy is laugh-out-loud hilarious, steamy, romantic, and great at mixing humor and fluff with more serious themes.

With Bookstore Romance Day right around the corner, I thought the timing was right to gush about my current favorite romance series. Bookseller Jaimie, an avid romance reader, gets us hyped for Bookstore Romance Day with this heartfelt look at the Brown Sisters trilogy by Talia Hibbert.
